Plastic- It's Fantastic!

Recently, I discovered an amazing technique on pure accident. Acrylic gesso doesn't stick to plastic. When applied in thin layers, many layers are visible at once and in a very slim package. The textures of the wrinkles the plastic has shows through wonderfully with the white color scheme I am currently using. Shadows and depth become more apparent with the white, yet the piece is remarkably thin and flat. Imagine relief done with paint, and no structure other than paint being necessary to hold the relief of an object. Paint creates the image, the relief, and the structure.
